Six Out Of Six For Toon - Just The Tonic!
Premiership victories over West Ham and the Mackems have transformed the season. Defeat at Upton Park and we would have been in the bottom three! Now Joey Barton says we MUST build on those two results. Joey Barton (talking to the Daily Mirror): "It is good to be fit and playing - dare I say it - well. It is all positive. "You get a little bit stronger, a little bit more battle hardened with every 90 minutes you get under your belt, so I am happy because I love playing football. "It is important to me to be a successful member of this squad and our playing staff and when you are fit there's a good chance of that happening. "These sorts of results don't do our confidence any harm, that's for sure. "But it is important we build on it. "Let's not get too far ahead of ourselves. We've been very good on the road, with some good results and they could have been better but for being harshly treated at Manchester City - but have also got to build on this home win. "We have to use the momentum to carry us forward."
